This is definitely still an issue, a serious one, and trivial to fix.
The problem is that the courier packages are basically orphaned. There
have been some new people trying to pick it up, but basically we need a
new maintainer.

May be obsolete now, but I can confirm that some of courier's services
randomly don't get started after rebooting a virtual server (presumably

I was having the same problem with jessie except that courier-mta never seemed
to start. I see

Followup-For: Bug #728747
I believe that I am experiencing this same bug, but am not completely sure.
I just set up an new host on an OpenVZ container, and I don't have access to
the boot console messages, so I don't know if Courier-MTA and my other courier
courier-authdaemon init script create /var/run/courier directory at start.
courier-mta not.
Solution is add this to courier-mta init script too, or start courier-mta after
courier-authdaemon on boot.

Yes, but question is, why sometimes there is, and sometimes not.
Maybe courier-authdaemon create /var/run/courier and when it's not started
before courier-mta then problem occurs?
Can be this problem wit

courier-mta (courierd) won't start randomly at boot. Random error is:
